The Pittsburgh couple is asking for reconsideration after the Judge threw out the initial suit which alleged Google did damage to them by taking SteetView pictures of their house.

The Western District Court of Pennsylvania’s Judge Amy Reynolds Hay dismissed the entire lawsuit (from April of last year, our coverage). The court could find no evidence the photos were offensive or damaging. Further, the couple’s decision not to use existing tools to request the images be removed didn’t help support the argument the images were causing pain.
